    Mid-Length Razor Cut with Long Bangs and Short Layers

    27 Medium Length Hairstyles & Haircuts for Square Shaped Faces @rachel_knox_hair

    “This is a modern take on a classic look and mid-length cut,” says Rachel Cicerone, a master stylist in Knoxville, TN.

    “We’ll refer to it as a mid-length razor cut with long bangs that suit both sides of the face,” she says. “What’s great about it is it also works perfectly on any natural texture of a thicker hair type.”

    “I decided on a razor because it allowed me to carve shape and remove weight on her thick, heavy hair,” she adds. “We added plenty of short layers (both internal and surface) around her face and throughout the hair to create movement and fluidity.” This helps provide volume at the top and crown to bring balance to a square jawline. This cut can be styled polished or lived-in with a bit of texture.

    The length will work on almost any female. Keep in mind that if your hair texture is finer, the razor can be aggressive on your delicate locks so it’s better to use shears.

    To style, Cicerone suggests you use a leave-in product to smooth the cuticle and protect it from heat. “I used Davines All In One Milk. For volume, I sprayed Davines This is a Sea Salt Spray at the roots, top, and crown. I completed the look with a large to medium-sized round brush,” she explains.

    Simple Medium-Length Hair for a Square Face

    27 Medium Length Hairstyles & Haircuts for Square Shaped Faces @meg.breanna

    This medium-length hair for a square face was created by hairdresser Megan Vargas of Visalia, CA.

    “The haircut gives her the bounce and versatility you would find in a shorter style, and the length in the front gives the illusion of a longer mid-length cut. It’s the best of both worlds,” she explains.

    This look is ideal for women who don’t mind spending a little extra time styling. The hairstyle is very simplistic, but you can spice it up with heat styling and products!

    When it comes to styling, Vargas advises, “keep in mind the larger your iron is, the larger your curls will be. If you want a textured beachy look go with a smaller iron and smaller sections.”

    “I would describe this look as a textured lob for a square face,” explains cutting specialist and style creator Terri Holian of Modesto, CA. “My favorite thing about this look is how you can still have the clean, blunt ends with all of the texture happening on the surface” she adds.

    This medium wavy cut makes a flattering hairstyle and it can really go either way. You can put in some light styling cream or mousse and let the hair air dry for an effortless look, or style it for more body and texture.

    If texturized correctly, this look can work for women with thick or thinner hair. Overall, this cut can be worn by anyone with simple adjustments to the length and amount of texture!

    This Olivia Wilde-inspired warm honey balayage on mid-length hair was created by stylist Sarah Hibbs-Williams of Hendersonville, TN. “I love the way the movement of the colors flow and define the different dimensions and depth within the hair,” she says.

    This trendy haircut for square face shapes is easily customizable. Hibbs-Williams explains how she styled this haircut. “I used Amika Wizard to add a nice healthy shine to the blow dry, then finished the style with loose waves curled with an Amika 1 1/2-inch Chameleon wand. We added Puff Me at the root for a slight lift, then finished with the Amika Texture Spray for the waves.”

    Lived-In Medium Hair for a Sharp Jawline

    27 Medium Length Hairstyles & Haircuts for Square Shaped Faces @courtney_joy_hair

    This lived-in hair on a medium-length haircut was created by hairstylist Courtney Carrara of Wilmington, NC.

    “Next day, lived-in, freestyled hair is always my goal. I like for the style to complement the face but accentuate the jaw, cheeks, and eyes. Instead of taking sections and curling one in toward the face and the other section away, I take full horizontal sections toward the face to accentuate the jaw. It softens that area just right,” she explains.

    The next horizontal section would go away from the face, beginning to form our “next day” shape and showing off those cheekbones. “I continue the toward/away horizontal sections until the bangs area. I like for the fringe to all go away from the face to make sure we open up those eyes,” she adds.

    Slightly Angled Blunt Cut for Shoulder-Length Hair

    27 Medium Length Hairstyles & Haircuts for Square Shaped Faces @prissyhippiebeautyshop

    This blunt, shoulder-length cut with a slight angle to it was created by hairstylist Holly Painter of South Hill, VA.

    “My advice for a woman considering this blunt cut would be to go for it,” says Painter. “Bangs are a bit of a commitment, so that is definitely something to consider. To style the look like this, you will need a 1 1/4-inch curling iron and a lightweight hairspray for hold. Apply the hairspray on damp hair before using the heat-styling tool.”

    “This medium layered haircut for a square face is super low-maintenance. Long bobs are great because they are shorter and playful, yet you can still wear a low braid or ponytail,” says hairstylist and style creator Ely Gurrola of Encino, CA. “As hairstylists, we always try to be one step ahead for our clients to revamp their hair,” she adds.

    Gurrola advises, “Always have a thorough consultation with a game plan so you know what to achieve overall in a look that is customized for each woman’s face shape and lifestyle.”

    “These mid-length soft, lived-in curls a la Angelina Jolie accentuate the energy of the hair, giving the light a chance to radiate throughout,” says hairstylist Kayla Glenn of Acworth, GA.

    Modern Next-Day Hair for a Square Face Shape

    27 Medium Length Hairstyles & Haircuts for Square Shaped Faces @reghanc

    “I would describe this look as modern, mid-length, next-day hair,” says hairstylist Reghan Campbell Rojas of Kailua Kona, HI.

    “My favorite thing about it is all the texture and detail in the cut. The whole cut was done on dry hair, making it easy to go in with heavy point cutting to get those seamless internal layers,” she explains.

    To recreate medium layered haircuts for square faces, you need a curling iron and texture spray, states Campbell Rojas. “My favorite product to get that disheveled, undone look is L’Oreal Professional Tecni Art Wild Stylers Next Day Hair. I also love R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste to help get some nice volume at the roots. My favorite curling iron is BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Curling Iron 1 1/4-inch.”
